We already have a open science center at a land of organisation enclosed by greenery on three sides 5 kms from main town Pauni. it has all the experiments in the school level science presented in the most effective and comprehensible way. All the students from various schools in the radius of 20kms can take advantage of the set up. We can go on next level getting full time volunteers working for the center. The activities will include building up the same model for Maths and introducing it in a most friendly way, creating awareness through campaigns and events in the neighboring villages and creating a planned schedule of these activities. These activities would be done by Science-friends (volunteers) involved in these program. Also, mapping all the students in 20kms impact area and finding out new approaches and methods will be a crucial part of this project along with tracking the effectiveness of science center on certain parameters.
